I actually agree with this. Banana flavoured milkshakes or ice cream is rank. But banana bread/cake is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you know why banana 'flavoured' things are quite different to bananas? This blew my Dad's mind because he grew up loving bananas and knew they don't taste now like they did when he was a child. We eat Cavendish bananas these days but banana 'flavouring' is historically based on the flavour of the Gros Michel variety which all but disappeared in 1965. By all accounts the Gros Michel was a tastier, sweeter, overall nicer fruit (berry, whatever). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think I hated tomatoes until I had some from my neighbour's allotment. Every tomato I'd had until then was watery and flavourless. Can't be arsed with the manual labour myself, but the difference is incredible. Most fruit and veg in supermarkets is a bit shit, but tomatoes really take the piss.

If banana shake is on the menu I will order it. Even if I wasn't ordering a shake beforehand. I absolutely love banana flavoured everything. Banana in general actually. I'm not a dessert man either, but I'll order banoffee if it's there. I'm bananas for bananas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fruit and veg in supermarkets is a bit shit, but tomatoes really take the piss. Storing them ‘chilled’ in the supermarket or sticking them in the fridge when you get home will also kill any last remnant of taste an industrial tomato might have had. We have a greenhouse full at the end of the garden so we just pick them once they are fully ripe but not squishy. Absolute perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tomatoes cooked in something is fine. Cheery tomatos are passable. But actual normal tomatoes, uncooked (or fried as per a fried breakfast)? Rank. They're made out to be sweet. They're not sweet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I love artificial banana flavour stuff more than actual bananas. Foam bananas are one of my favourite sweets of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2021 I had to take a banana flavoured medicine as a child for a while and it was so foul tasting as a result I (genuinely) have never eaten a banana in my living memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Ooooh now that’s a good topic for discussion. Best tasting medicine. I used to love Buttercup.
